Rockstar Australia have given us the nod we'll be seeing the first in the promised Xbox 360 exclusive downloadable episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV, next February 17.

"Making these episodes has enabled us to expand the narrative and the experience of interacting with a game world in really innovative ways,"said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "We hope fans of the game enjoy the new way of experiencing life in Liberty City contained in this first episode."

The first episode is titled The Lost And The Damned and will feature an all-new main character with a plot that actually intersects with that of GTA IV's. We'll also see new music, vehicles, weapons and missions as well as new multiplayer modes in addition to the main story.

We have a few more screens up for the episode on our freshly made GTA IV: The Lost and the Damned game page

im pumped. glad its not GTA World At War so hopefully the price will be reasonable.

well based on screenshots looks like you're part of a bikie gang.

the bike gang i think is called 'the lost' and i think you chased them around in one of the missions in gta IV .

GTA IV: Sons of Anarchy? That'd be sweet

I still haven't finished this game. The social chasing around keeping people happy part drove me away from it. I'd pay to have that s*** disabled so I can play the game with out being bugged buy some d******* every 5 minutes.

You do realise you can hang up on them... most are just side missions for those hardcore players who want to do more than just the main storyline.

Any idea when this/if it will be coming to ps3?

Never.

I remember how I was considering getting a 360 because I wanted this content. After playing GTA4 I couldn't give a s***lulz.

I think it would be hilarious if they do release it for ps3/pc (lets face it, they may hold it off for a while as they promised Microsoft, but they want as much cash as possible).

I would hope that they could at least work a deal out with MS to release it for PC, if not PS3. Can't see it hurting 360 sales after a year or so...

Wonder how much it'll cost.

1200 ms points is the max so far for any game right ?

Microsoft didn't pay them 50 million dollars for it to come out on anything but the 360. Possibly pc but highly doubt ps3.
